In one embodiment, a first blade server 20, a second blade server 30, and a third blade server 40 are used as shown in FIG. 1. The monitor device 10, the first blade server 20, the second blade server 30, and the third blade server 40 are connected in series. Each of the first blade server 20, the second blade server 30, and the third blade server 40 includes hardware and software systems that can perform various functions. The monitor device 10 can send commands to and/or receive information from the first blade server 20, the second blade server 30, and the third blade server 40 in an ordinal sequence.
Referring to FIG. 2, the first blade server 20 includes a first I/O port 21, a microcontroller 22, a monitor chip 23, and a second I/O port 24. The first I/O port 21 is configured to communicate with the monitor device 10. The second I/O port 24 is configured to communicate with a subsequent blade server. In an exemplary embodiment, the second I/O port 24 of the first blade server 20 communicates with the second blade server 30.
The first blade server 20 further includes an indicator light 221, a power supply unit (PSU) 223, and a heat generating module 225, connected to the microcontroller 22. The indicator light 221 is connected to the microcontroller 22 and configured to indicate an identification code of the first blade server 20. The PSU 223 includes a power OK (PS_OK) pin and a power supply on (PSON) pin connected to the microcontroller 22. When a voltage at the PSON pin is set from high to low level, the PSU 223 is powered on, and then the voltage at the PS_OK pin rises to a high level to indicate that output rails of the PSU 223 are all powered on. The microcontroller 22 can set the voltage at the PSON pin to low or high level and detect whether the PSU 223 can be normally powered on or off. The heat generating module 225 includes a plurality of electric loads (e.g., resistors) to simulate heat generating components which may be installed in the first blade server 20. The microcontroller 22 is connected to the heat generating module 225 to determine power consumed by the heat generating module 225. The microcontroller 22 can further enable or disable one or more of the electric loads of the heat generating module 225 to increase or decrease heat generated by the heat generating module 225. A first key K1, a second key K2, and a third key K3 are connected to the microcontroller 22. The first key K1 is configured to increase the identification code of the first blade server 20. The second key K2 is configured to decrease the identification code of the first blade server 20. The third key K3 is configured to affirm the setting of the identification code. For instance, if the first blade server 20 is assigned with an identification code 1 initially and the first key K1 is pressed once, the identification code of the first blade server 20 changes from 1 to 2. If the second key K2 is pressed once, the identification code of the first blade server 20 changes from 1 to 0. The monitor device 10 can access the blade servers according to their identification codes.
The first blade server 20 further includes a first temperature sensor 231, a fan 233, and a second temperature sensor 235, connected to the monitor chip 23. The first temperature sensor 231 is mounted in the first blade server 20 and configured to detect a temperature in the first blade server 20. The second temperature sensor 235 is mounted at an outside of the first blade server 20 to measure an environmental temperature outside the first blade server 20. The monitor chip 23 receives the temperature information detected by the first temperature sensor 231 and the second temperature sensor 235 and adjusts speed of the fan 233 accordingly.
In one embodiment, the microcontroller 22, the monitor chip 23, the first key K1, the second key K2, the third key K3, and the indicator light 221 are mounted in an integrated circuit board. This integrated circuit board can be utilized and mounted in each of the blade servers to monitor the corresponding blade servers and send the monitored information to the monitor device 10.
A configuration of each of the second blade server 30 and the third blade server 40 is similar to that of the first blade server 20 as disclosed. The second blade server 30 communicates with the monitor device 10 via the first blade server 20. The third blade server 40 communicates with the monitor device 10 via the second blade server 30 and the first blade server 20. The information monitored by the monitor chip and the microcontroller of each of the blade servers can be sent to the monitor device 10, which displays the information and controls the blade servers accordingly.
